FM(U)otW(aolcb) is the web version of the MUSSEL Project Database. Follow the links to browse the data or use the custom Google search field. Either way, you win!

For each valid genus, the nominal generic synonyms are listed. The taxonomic history (since 1900) at the bottom of the page lists the genera to which all of the currently included species have been classified.

The MUSSEL Project Database is moving to a new server, with a new URL! The new address for this page will be: https://musselpdb.org/fmuotwaolcb/db.php?ty=validgen_syn&id=1210
